[$] Owen Le Blanc: creator of the first Linux distribution

Ask a Linux enthusiast who created the Linux kernel, and odds are they will haveno trouble naming Linus Torvalds-but many would be stumped if asked what thefirst Linux distribution was, and who created it. Some might guess Slackware, or its predecessor, Softlanding LinuxSystem (SLS); both were arguably more influential but arrived just a bitlater. The first honest-to-goodness distribution with a proper installer was MCCInterimLinux,created by Owen LeBlanc, released publicly in early1992. I recentlyreached out to LeBlanc to learn more about his work on the distribution, whathe has been doing since, and his thoughts on Linux in2025.
